Abstract: YGS is delivering 16 field-based projects this fiscal year, including three regional mapping projects, two sedimentary basin studies, five geophysical surveys and five student projects. YGS also provided support for several external collaborators and undertook visits to 29 communities and schools. In addition to field-based activities, staff initiated the development of a new corporate database for managing our various data sets and administered the Yukon Mining Incentives and Mineral and Petroleum Environmental Research Group programs (YMIP and MPERG, respectively).

Following the announcement of the federal GEM (Geo-mapping for Energy and Minerals) program, YGS has been investing significant time providing input to the Geological Survey of Canada on Yukon’s geoscience priorities, to ensure the program addresses our clients’ needs.
